mmm... I'm still facing the flicker issue, at the bottom of the image during few seconds, when you start a movie/episode...

I searched the entire skin for any references left to plot overlay starting up by itself and didn't find any. I can check again as there were various pieces of code used to try and bring that up throughout.

Is anyone else still experiencing this issue? I ask because I am trying to determine whether it's worth a look on Jarvis (thus taking time away from Krypton).

Problem SOLVED !

This is I was asking for the cleanest way to upgrade the skin.

What I did was to "remove" the settings.xml from userdata\addon_data\skin.arctic.zephyr.fromashes and voilà!

Before beginning with issues / suggestions, how can I save the settings? I only can exit with "Alt+F4", but the settings are lost. added quit option in the configuration menu. now the skin settings are saved.

But there is a "defect". I'm used to have the classic home menu style. In this case, the home black bar is not as slim as for example Habitual_Sinner is explaining in its post.

Another problem I had in the past was I couldn't import skin settings, e.g. I don't have the option to browse to c:\temp where I previously exported the settings. I only see two manual repos I've created before, but I don't see the C: as I do in export skin settings.

And just for curiosity, I was used to modify View_53_Poster.xml file, to add the year in the title of the movie / tvshow, but I can see that it's now present. "<label>$INFO[ListItem.Label] ($VAR[LabelYear])</label>", was it added by you?

Finally, any chance so we can have another option in settings so I can have the path, in the DialogVideoInfo.xml, inside the "starring" section, as I think it's duplicated info (you can see the starring it in the bottom with images)

PHP Code:

<control type="label">
  <align>left</align>
  <aligny>center</aligny>
  <top>-14</top>
  <posx>4</posx>
  <width>44</width>
  <font>symbol</font>
  <label></label>
</control>
<control type="label">
  <top>0</top>
  <width max="1024">auto</width>
  <height>34</height>
  <font>Small</font>
  <aligny>bottom</aligny>
  <textcolor>Black700</textcolor>
  <label>$VAR[CastList]</label>
</control> 


replace with

PHP Code:

<control type="label">
  <top>0</top>
  <width max="1300">auto</width>
  <height>34</height>
  <font>Small</font>
  <aligny>bottom</aligny>
  <align>left</align>
  <textcolor>Black700</textcolor>
  <scroll>true</scroll>
  <label>$INFO[ListItem.FileNameAndPath]</label>
</control>
